*Improvements*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Includes native Intel-Mac support.
Live 5.2 features full VST 2.4 support on Mac and Windows.
On Intel Mac we only support VST 2.4 plug-ins and above. It is theroretically possible to create plug-ins which follow an older standard, but this is not recommended by Steinberg. Therefore we decided not to support that. On Mac PowerPC and Windows your old plug-ins will continue to work as before.
Reverted the behavior of running session clips when you stop and restart the song. In 5.0.3 we changed this so that the clips are not retriggered, but keep their relative offsets, which means that often a clip will start in the middle when you start the song. It turns out that most users disliked this behavior, so we reverted this to the previous behavior, where all session clips are retriggered when the song is started. (With the added bug fix that this also works when the song is started from a position other than 1.1.1.).
There's a new Options.txt option called "-DontRetriggerSessionClips" to force the 5.0.3 behavior, for those who actually like it better.
When choosing a command from a context menu, we first close the menu and then carry out the command. This also fixes certain problems when the command opens a file chooser, for example (like "Export MIDI clip") and the menu is "grayed" afterwards.
In the Render dialog, the suggested default name of the file to be rendered does now depend on the current document name. So opening a new document or save the current document under a new name resets the default name.
Receiving large MIDI sysex data (as used from several third party plug-ins for parameter dumps) is handled faster now.
OS X only: Improved handling of certain Audio Unit plug-ins, especially from Waves 5.x
Windows only: Added support for mp3 decoders installed on Windows as part of the Windows Media Player. This solves problems Windows users without QuickTime (or broken QuickTime) having with the default codec, for example decoding into pure silence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[01] Bug: MIDI sync in delay preference*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: All
The value for the MIDI sync delay would not be stored within the preferences but reset to 0 at each start of Live.
Status: Fixed

-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[02] Bug: Deleting a "soloed" track*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: All
Deleting s track with solo on could leave the Live set in solo state.
Status: Fixed

-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[03] Bug: "Stucking" Midi Notes*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: All
An armed MIDI track with PDC enabled could result in "stucking" MIDI notes.
Status: Fixed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[04] Bug: Sample rate change with BeatRepeat*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: All
Live could crash when the sample rate would be changed to a lower value after dragging in a BeatRepeat device.
Same could happen when rendering a Live set containing a BeatRepeat device with a lower sample rate as the current one.
Status: Fixed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[05] Bug: Jumping waveform in MP3 files*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: Win only
Depending on the amount of MP3 files decoded at the same time, the length of the MP3 files and the computer speed the waveforms of the same MP3 files could be different.
Status: Fixed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*[06] Bug: Switching to device chain*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Platform: All
Depending on the structure of Live set switching to a track's device chain via the miniaturized device display in the 'Track View Selector' would not properly work.
Status: Fixed
Ableton Live 5.2 beta now available!

I really didn't notice those issues with 5.0.3, so perhaps somebody who did have problems can chip in here?

I haven't had any problems with 5.0.3 so I have no need for bug fixes and can't say that the features added would be significant either, except perhaps VST 2.4 support.
